The U.S. administration is ready to accuse Iran of violating an international treaty that bans chemical weapons, according to two US officials on Friday.

The officials, who declined to be named as they were not authorised to discuss the matter publicly, explained that the Trump administration plans to make their announcement about Iran’s non-compliance with the 1997 Chemical Weapons Convention, which prohibits the production, stockpiling and use of chemical weapons, at some point this week.

It’s no secret that Europe has recently been making every effort to create a so called “Special Purpose Vehicle” which is suggested to help in maintaining ongoing business deals with Iran; but the European countries are yet to take any actions, indicating their inner fear of US sanctions.

More than any president before him, U.S. President Donald Trump has been determined, since the beginning of his time in office, to put an end to the malign activity that is destabilising the Middle East, and in particular confronting Iran for its role.

He has spoken out about the Iran nuclear deal on countless occasions, even from before taking office, and his disdain of it was no secret. It was obvious that he begrudged Iran the deal because it was so one-sided.

Since U.S. President announced that the United States would be pulling out of the 2015 Iran nuclear deal and that crippling economic sanctions were to be re-applied, the Iranian economy went even further into a downward spiral.
